Michael DeMocker/The Times-PicayuneBilly Cundiff has already had one stint with the Saints.

Add punters Scott Player and Waylon Prather to the list of candidates who tried out today, according to league sources. No word yet on whom the Saints have decided to sign at either kicker or punter.

Some background info on the guys the Saints are considering at both positions:

Billy Cundiff, 28, might be the front-runner for the kicking job because Saints Coach Sean Payton is so familiar with him. They brought him in for a workout earlier this month, even before they released Taylor Mehlhaff on Tuesday.

Cundiff played in seven games with the Saints in 2006, including the playoffs, after he signed in late November to be the team's kickoff specialist. He missed both of his field goal attempts that year, though, including a 47-yarder at Chicago in the NFC Championship Game. Cundiff spent four years with the Dallas Cowboys from 2002-05, making 60 of 82 field goal attempts. He also auditioned with Atlanta and Kansas City in the past two offseasons.

Dave Rayner, 26, has the most recent experience of the bunch, having appeared in two games with the Cincinnati Bengals this month while Shayne Graham was out with a groin injury. Rayner made his only field goal attempt from 26 yards and made all three extra-point attempts. He has also kicked for Kansas City, Green Bay, Indianapolis and San Diego, making 42 of 49 field goal attempts in his career.

Aaron Elling, 30, has played with the Vikings, Titans and Ravens, making 19 of 28 field goal attempts in his career. He last played in Baltimore in 2005, but he has played in the preseason since then, most recently in Oakland this year, when he made 4 of 5 field goal attempts.

A.J. Haglund, 25, has no NFL experience. But he was the Arena Football League's Kicker of the Year in 2008. He made 21 of 25 field goal attempts and 116 of 124 extra-point attempts for the San Jose SaberCats.

Garrett Hartley, 22, is a rookie out of Oklahoma. He signed with Denver as an undrafted free agent but was released before the start of training camp.

Punter Josh Miller, 38, is a veteran of 13 NFL seasons with Pittsburgh, New England and Tennessee, averaging 43.1 yards per kick over his career. He has not played this year, though he signed with the Titans for one week earlier this month as a potential injury replacement. He played in just one game with the Titans last year.

Glenn Pakulak, 28, has bounced around the league for several years, though he's never landed a regular-season gig. He was most recently with the Raiders this preseason, averaging 45 yards per punt.

Scott Player, 38, is a 10-year veteran who has averaged 43.1 yards per punt in his career. He played his first nine seasons with the Arizona Cardinals then appeared in three games last year with the Cleveland Browns.

Waylon Prather, 23, was in Saints camp this summer as an undrafted free agent out of San Jose State, but lost the job to Steve Weatherford. He also spent a week on the New York Jets' practice squad in September.
